• Translation and Interpretation

To give our articles the widest possible audience, the CADTM is constantly seeking to have them translated into all the languages available on our website (Spanish, English, Portuguese, French, Greek, etc.).

It is for this reason that the CADTM is constantly looking for professional translators who would kindly give us their support on a voluntary basis.

In the same way, a whole series of public events that take place in Belgium, and elsewhere, need the contribution of a number of professional interpreters.

If you would be so kind please send an e-mail to info at cadtm.org (please specify your name, surname, e-mail address, languages concerned).

 Why a call for donations on our website?

The CADTM Belgium has been receiving subsidies from public donors for several years. These are mainly the Belgian Development Cooperation and the Department of Permanent Education of the French Community of Belgium. These subsidies are far from sufficient to diversify our activities, to meet the growing demand for training, animation and various forms of expertise, and to develop the CADTM network around the world. In the context of the debt crisis in the North, the threat of a new debt crisis in the South, and more broadly of a multiple crisis on a global scale, it seems essential to us to strengthen our work and to continue to build North-South links.

Your donations allow us to fulfil our contractual obligations with funders (20% equity Equity The capital put into an enterprise by the shareholders. Not to be confused with ’hard capital’ or ’unsecured debt’. requirement), to guarantee our independence and to ensure the perenity of our work.

As an illustration of the recognition of our work, here is the mention made by Jean Ziegler, former UN Special Rapporteur on the right to food, in his book “The Empire of Shame”: "The CADTM has emerged as a real counter-power to the Bretton Woods institutions and the Paris Club Paris Club This group of lender States was founded in 1956 and specializes in dealing with non-payment by developing countries.
